Episode Intro

This week we are talking about seeds. Not just the ones that get caught in your teeth after eating berries, or those you spit out while noshing on a wedge of watermelon, ALL seeds. What they are, how they disperse, the special vault of world seeds, and more. I hope as you sow seeds into your local pea patch or garden that you look at those little bits with a tad more reverence after the episode.

Let’s get into it.
